Speaking of childhood trick shots, we used to try to shoot swallows off the power lines in front of the house.  Occasionally this worked. Once just at dusk there was a bird sitting on the line that powered the house across the street.  After a careful stalk I was directly underneath my intended prey.  The advantage of shooting straight up is if I missed the arrow came straight down instead of possibly losing it.

At the shot the arrow instead of missing (most of the time), or hitting the bird (occasionally), stuck dead center into the insulated wire.  This caused a huge shower of sparks.      Fortunately all the fireworks caused the arrow to fall out of the wire to the ground.  I quickly grabbed it an ran into our garage to hide the evidence.  

I was never found out but a few days later the power company showed up to fix the wire with the mysterious burn marks on it.
